Bulk unloading in ports and terminals
Wagon turnaround decides everything: vessel demurrage, wagon detention penalties, labour shortage. Global Technics equipment runs at 50+ terminals — from Baltic seaports to −40 °C winter operations.
Why ports mechanise transhipment
A port's main loss is time: vessels waiting, penalties for wagon detention and not enough people for heavy manual work. That is why mechanising transhipment is a priority. It applies to practically every bulk cargo carried loose: sulphur, fertilisers, minerals, concentrates and so on.
What the equipment covers
VH-500 railcar vibrators discharge caked or slightly frozen cargo from hopper wagons (up to 550 J; a typical wagon takes up to 5 minutes including clean-up). The Sweeper GT brush machine cleans the wagon body in 3–5 minutes — with no one inside the wagon body. Rockhammer RH-200 impactors keep material flowing in steel bunkers and transfer chutes — automatically, by preset program or blockage-sensor signal.
Honest limitations
Professional equipment is built for large transhipment volumes. At 2–3 wagons a day the purchase usually doesn't pay off — unless a single wagon takes 10 hours to clear.
